The total patient worn monitor market represented the majority of the
total market and will remain this way over the forecast period. This is
due to the fact that patient-worn units may be purchased separately to
replace a broken or misplaced monitor. Over the forecast period, sales
of patient-worn telemetry units will grow time times faster than sales
of the telemetry central stations.

The total market will continue to see moderate growth driven by a
prevalent interest to invest in patient-worn monitors across unmonitored
lower-acuity hospital settings. Acute care areas where telemetry is
seeing increased adoption include the recovery and general care floors,
where continuous monitoring helps to reduce avoidable complications, as
well as critical care settings, such as the cardiac care unit (CCU). On
the other hand, new efforts to combat excess strain on hospital
resources and alarm fatigue are expected to temper future growth.
Revenue is thus projected to increase steadily, albeit at a slower rate,
towards the end of the forecast period.
